Of men lived and died on the face Of

this simple invention, and of the load

Alasl There is no answer to these
questions; silence covers up his history.
Let us hope that he lived long enough
after his invention to build himself a
comfortable brick dwelling in which to
end his useful life. May we not hope
that in some other sphere he is reaping
the reward of his inestimable gift to his
fellow creatures. While he has passed

Nations can better win success by
noble deeds, than by the cruel destrue-
tIon of human life for selfish aims.
Those who never retract love them
selves better than the truth.
Beware, therefore, not only of an
implicit faith, but of being too closely
tied up to reason, where faith is re-
quIred.
Folly soon wears out her shoes. She
dances so fast we are all of us tired.
Golden wires may annoy us as much as
steel bars, it they keep us behind prison
windows.
Death opens the gate to fame. and
shuts the gate of envy after it; it UNI

Your disposition will be suitable to
that which you most frequently think
on. for the soul IS, as 1t were, frlnged
with the color and complexion Of its
own thoughts.
The human race are sons of sorrow
born, and each must have his portion.
Vulgar minds refuse to crouch beneath
their load, the brave bear theirs with
out repining.

Il neiC Industry has lately sprung up
in Sweden and promises to become a
most important one. OIL for illumina-
ting purposes is now manufactured in
that country from the stumps and roots
that remain in the forests after the tim
Der has been cut. These are subjected
to a process Of dry d~istlllation and be-
side wood-oil many other products are
obtained, among which are ~turpentine,
creosote, acetic acid, wood charcoal,
tar oils, etc. This oil cannot be used
in ordinary lamps, as containing a large
proportion Of carbon, ltgives off a great
deal of smoke during combustion.
When mixed with benzine, however,
it may be led in ordinary benzine
lamps; but when burned alone a special
lamp must be adopted. The trees that
furnish the greatest amount OF oil are
the pine and fir. There are now about
forty establishments engaged in this
manufacture III Sweden.

Take all the sorrows out of life, and
you take away all richness. and depth,
and tenderness. Sorrow Is the furnace
that melts selfish hearts together in
love.
Physicians have determined that II
in man one faculty is lacking another
faculty becomes unusually strong. We
have noticed that where politician has
no conscience his bank account grows
very large.
1t is a singular commentary on our
average Christianity that our economy
begins, not in the larger fractions of
our income, which are devoted to our
living, daily W )rk and comfort, but.
first of all, in the smaller fractions
which we have devoted the to Lord. In
other worGs, when the ''hard times"
come and incomes and probably CAPT
tai, too, are reduced and now expenses,
must also be cut down, VIC begin our
economy on the Lord s claim and por'
ton, practieing u self-denial on the
rendering of what we owe to him and
not on what we expend for ourselves.
We continually see instances of this
around us. There are many, who,
through all these ''close times" have
been living just the same as formerly,
having the same home comforts and
luxuries, eating just as good food and
wearing as good raiment, but mean
while giving much less to causes of
benevolenee.
Temptation Is a fearful word. 1t in
dicates the beginning of a possible Sc
ries of infinite evils. 1t Is the ringing
of an alarm bell, whose melancholy
sounds may r~everberate through eter-
nifty. Like the sudden, sharp cry of
"hrel" in the night, it should rouse US
TO instantaneous activity, and brace
every muscle to its highest tension.
Let the spire go; save your money;
and then have an inscription neatly
craven on the place where 1t ought TO
be, ''This is a spire 200 feet high" If
anyone fails to recognize 1t as a splre,
get an act of Congress passed making
it a spire, a fiat spire, as it were. Make
it a legal tender for a spire, 20 that
anybody who wants a spire will be
compelled to take this, or get nothing.
/ had laid down my pen and had taken
off my steel bowed glasses, when one
more thought occurred to me; reckon
how much the spire would cost; then
take the money and put up a mission
chapel in some place where there is the
most need, and then when any inquisi-
tive stranger thinks that your house is
incomplete, and asks, "Where is your
spire?" just show him the chapel, and
say: "This is our spire."

To many excellent housekeepers the
mere idea of making a salad is fraught
with a sort OF terror. The business Of
baking bread, roasting and broiling
meats and mixing cake seems a simple
matter, but the suggestion Of a salad
appears to involve an amount of work
and worry that render 1t an undertake
ing not TO be attempted except upon
great occasions and at long intervals.
Like many other occupations and
experiences, the dread Of the salad is
caused by its unusaalness. 1t is less
trouble than even the average pastry,
less uncertain than cake, and takes less
time than a batch of bread. To the
accustomed hand it is a simple affair
and susceptible of endless variations.
Even for a family tea 1t is easily pre-
pared and almost invariably gives gen.
sral satisfaction. 1t imparts an air of
elegance to the plainest repast and
costs no more than many less preten-
tious dainties.
While salads are especially delicious
in their fresh crispness during the
spring and Summer months. they are a
little delightful in Winter. The fami-
lies who have their dinner at night and
wish a substantial lunch at noon, or
those who make their principal meal in
the middle Of the day, yet desire a
''hearty tea" in the evening, will find
in them a n~eyer-faillng, always Rppe-
tizlng variety. There are few people
who would not prefer a dish of salad
once or twice a week TO the inevitable
cake which Is often considered essential
to the supper table.

MAYoNNAIsE DRESSING This
much dreaded but really simple Dress
ing once learned, the preparation Of
salads becomes a bagatelle. To be
successful IN the manufacture, how
ever, care is essential, as in all nice
cookery. For use in the family, one
egg should be allowed for every person,
and for each egg there should be a des-
sert teaspoonful of good salad oil. The
best quality is the cheapest in the end,
for the poor is generally so indifferent
as to render the dressing almost uneat-
able. Free the yolks of the eggs from
every particle of the white and prepare
to beat them In a bowl set In a pan of
snow OF cracked Ice. The dressing
will thicken more readily if kept very
cold. Drop into the yolks a drop of
oil, beat it in thoroughly, add another
drop and keep up the process for about
ten minutes. After that increase the
additions of oil to two or three drops at
a time, and as the dressing thickens, to
more, Thin with vinegar occasionally
but so much as to destroy the
creamy quality, which is one marked
characteristic of really fine mayor
naise dressing. Season to taste with
salt and cayenne pepper at the last, and
set aside in a cold place for IN hour or
two before using.
